UNFORESEEN LOVE

-




I’ve seen backs and boobs
I’ve seen heights and hips
I’ve seen it all
Including my favourite
Big eyes
But I didn’t fall for them

I’m not one to break rules
But you made me
I broke my rule
I broke my back
But you were a stranger

I wonder what you
Will make me do
When we become family
From fraternizing to fondling to family
Weird
But I will take it

After all, you broke my rule without knowing
I’m not a believer of love at first sight
I’ve seen backs and boobs
I’ve seen it all
Including my favourite
Big eyes
But I didn’t fall for them

But you came by
Big/moderate back, well, yes
But my favourite
Big eyes, no
So why?
Why?
Why did I have to fall for you the way I did
I couldn’t believe myself


I will cheat on you if we get together
There is one thing I can’t compromise on
Big eyes
To me, they are the most beautiful part
Of the human body

You can have all the awesome
Qualities in a person
But without big eyes
I can’t

Please forgive me
But I can’t
I’ll break your heart
And you’ll break mine
Why not break it now to avoid
Intensifying the pain
When it eventually breaks

PERPETUITY

My religious beliefs sidestepped Not a good idea, I know But let’s do this Some say it’s the end of the world I say, maybe it’s just the beginning of it Maybe God is preparing a whole new generation to take over I mean, there are scriptural connotations to suggest so But, …………………….. Fill in the blanks I want to see my friends again I miss them People are dying People are dying Some have recovered and others are still recovering Some are also getting sick We are to practice social distancing Self-isolate Quarantine It’s a whole new world of superficial practices I see two possibilities Maybe, this new world is perpetual Maybe it’s just temporary Even if there comes a cure for this claw-clenching, deadly fisticuffs punching coronavirus Can we really come back to our old selves What if we are to remain this way to prevent getting infected Sure there may have been a cure for it But would you risk getting infected I pray this w

QUENCHING THE DESIRE TO DRINK; SAVE THAT PREGNANCY

-
In many African homes, marriages have broken due to pregnancy and birth issues. Usually, the blame is shoved down the woman’s throat. Either she is unable to conceive or miscarriage has always characterized the aftermath of her conception. It is an unfortunate reality yet many women ignorantly or otherwise continue to indulge in the very factors that catapulted their miscarriage. Miscarriages happen quite often to many women in Ghana. According to a 2017 health data, more than 10% of pregnant women experience miscarriages. One of the foremost causes of miscarriages is alcohol intake during pregnancies – the focus of this essay. The menace also happens due to many other factors like infection, hormonal imbalances, age, uterine abnormalities, etc. There is a strong relationship between alcohol intake while pregnant and miscarriage. In fact, statistics suggest that drinking even small amounts of alcohol while pregnant has a 19% chance of terminating the pregnancy. There is a notio

PRICKLY PRIDE

Ghana, the doctor of digitalization How your inhabitants are reaping its benefits All the way to suffocation Don’t you feel its fragrance   Oh Ghana, high praise indeed How that has rendered us rancorous Now we’re in need Of the surplus of the perceived generous   Dashing in haze Kneeling at feet in pride Is it just a phase Just like the looks of a bride   Or should we go back to the dark days Far from these ember days
